"I just hope nothing occurs between now and the trial that would cause us to go off in a different direction,"
You mean like one of the officers involved shoots a 12 year old girl? Or how about the police killing an unarmed black man because he "acted weird when attacked with a dog and 8 bean bag rounds." Honestly, the police are the ones that are messing it up for themselves, the press is just reporting it.
He fell down while running! That was it! He got in an excited delirium and broke them all by himself! We didn't touch him!

It always sounds so depressing that folks chosen for jury duty are often unfamiliar/apathetic to what is going on in their communities.
I often have a conversation in our news room that goes along the lines of: "How do we get the people who don't give a shit to give a shit?"
Then I go back to thinking, "How can I get more people to know who I AM?"
Joke.
